ALARGE AUDIENCE
SUNDAY and Churchea In Eurnne.

sunday and Churches in Europe.
The lecture of Rev. DR.. T. T. Munger at the
United church chapel in Temple street last
evening brought together a large audience
from all denominations, an audience too that
appreciated every word. The lecture was
direct, forcible and straight to the point.
"reminiscences of his last visit were combined
with those of the previous one twenty years
before. Short visits of three months the
speaker deems better than visits of six
months or a years duration. A desire of
novelty urges on the European tourist and
his interest lags and dies away by detention.
Ancient Chester's fine cathedral was the first
one described, and the contrast with the edi-
fees in America and worship here is felt as
strongly in the oft-told experience of old
Chester as in the numerous churches and
cathedra1s afterward visited. st. PauIs in
London was described and graphic account
given of Dean Stanley. The written sermon
and eXhortation of the dean is q most finished
composition; delivered with scarce motion
or gesture, and in one monotone from be-
ginning, to end, yet all who could
closest attention. Visiting the Made
line church in Paris and seeing the
cold formality of the service, entirely lifeless
and uninteresting, it plainly revealed the
cause of the widespread infdelity of the
higher classes. The appointed service at the
sarcophagus tomb of Napoleon ], though
meaningless, was every Sunday gone
through with All seemed tired of it and
losing their interest in the glory of his career
as the baseness of his real character became
better known.
The church at Lyons was described as
filled with offerings so motley and varied and
in such queer placing that it is fttingly de-
scribed as the jolliest of churches on the con-
visited. Stiff, formal GOODNESS seemed
enforced by the classic Grecian
architecture. Magnificent and wonderful, it
is destitute of religion. English and Ameri-
can instinct longs for the gothic architecture
to show the reality of religion. The5cathe.
dral of st. Mark in Venice was described the
enchanting music, the really imposing and
solemn sanctuary service. Onitting large
part of his manuscript, DR.. Munger, who held
his audience with him on all his journeying,
went back to the Isle of Wight on his return
and sought on its beautiful southern side the
plain English worship of native Englishmen
Only in the simple loneliness of the
children did it seem the same
as in the olden time. His audience
by the speaker were taken with him, and his
clear description seemed to bring the scenes
to view. He closed saying that the simple
Puritan congregational service, the hymns,
anthems, prayers, sermon and the hearers
joining in the singing, was incomparably bet
ter and more consonant with the simplicity
and truth of religion than magnificent, great
buildings and almost any kind of ritual
service.
All seemed satisfied and gratifed with the
lecture, of which, in its introduction, he said
the object was to assist the mission circle
and the Young Peoples society of Christian
Endeavor of his church

PROBATE JUDGES, CONVENTION.

Meeting of the Association at the
State Capitol Yesterday mOrning-A
Large Attendance.
The semi-annual meeting of the Connecti-
cut association of Probate judges was held at
the capitol yesterday morning in room 72.
The attendance was very large and lively
interest was taken in the proceedings. Presi-
dent S. B. Holbrook of Norwich called the
meeting at 10:4O. G. W. West of Rockville
was the secretary. Ex-Judge White of Hart
ford and Judge M. B. Beardsley of Bridge
port were appointed committee to prepare
business of the day for discussion. Ex-Judge
White of Hartford read paper on the con-
struction to be given to the words 'fchattel,"
ssgoods," 'seffects" when used in wills. He
said that household furniture and the like,
when used in will, is often a question and
sometimes difficult 70 solve, especially when
the contents within explain or define their
meaning. The balance of his paper was de-
voted to reciting a number of cases of this
kind which had come under his notice.
Judge Martin of Wallingford read will
which was so constructed as to make its
Interpretation matter of considerable diff
6culty.
Judge R. A. Wheeler of Stonington asked
the president il mortgage can eject mort
gage on foreclosure after fifteen years have
elapsed. Judge Holbrook replied in the az
| frmative.
Judge Tudor, of East CRANKY, asked this
question: A man satisfies a mortgage, but
| fails to take release deed. Subsequently
he becomes executor of the mortgages prop
erty. Can he make out release deed to him
self? The answer was eyes"
judge Chamberlain, of Stafford, put this
| conundrum: A Probate judge appoints per-
son, persons company executors of an
| estate and they begin their duties of settling
the estate under the will. Afterward it is
| learned that they are disqualified to act IN
/ der the State law. Are their actions as exec
| utors unconstitutional Judge White voiced
the sentiment of the judge by replying af-
| frmatively.
Judge Holbrook said that recently he had
| become interested in a case, the outcome Of
| which SO irritated him that he determined tc
| hunt up the law governing cases of this de-
| scription. The case in point is this: A mar
| named Brewer died in East Hartford, dis
| tributors of the estate were appointed, made
/ their report to the Hartford court and were
| discharged. Subsequently a son of the ties
l tator discovered that the distributors hac
only partly perfected their work; they haG
failed to establish the rights of way. Appli
| cation was made to the Hartford court *
have the case reopened and to have the dis
| tributeIs instructed to perform the desired
| work. The application was denied. Judg
| Holbrook took the ground that the cour
erred. Judge White agreed with him.
The balance of the morning was devoted t.
general discussion of matters appertaininl
| to the construction of wills.

House - Further Talk About the
"MOdern ParthenOn.''
Some of our prominent citizens were vest

State House question and pointed with
emphasis to the supplemental report made
by the Common Councils joint committee on
State House, which reads as follows:
SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT.
Your committee beg leave to report further in
regard to that part Of the resolution referred to
them which relates to some contemplated use of
the site occupied by the present State House in
event of its removal that in their opinion the site
referred to would be admirable one for our free
haven Colony soee Being central in
location very accessible, free from exposure to ex-
ing,abundant light Being upon ground under con-
troll of the city, and originally set apart for uses in
which all the people are Interested there would be
nothing repugnant to the original dedication of
this spot to public purposes in the occupancy OF
this site any available portion of tbs Green, by
a suitable building for the objects mentioned;
Your committee however, do not feel called up
on to make any special recommendation upon this
subject leaving its consideration to the wisdom of
the Court of Common Council.
Respectfully submitted,

There, said one of the gentlemen and the
rest conceded heartily, there is proof from
the committee themselves that they think the
site of the old State House suitable for the
erection of some other building. Then why
all this kicking and protesting against the
present structures remaining there? If it's
proper for a building to stand there why not
let it be the State House? Why pull it down?
Proceeding, the speaker argued: 1t will cost
thousands of dollars to pull it down, remove
the debris, fill up the hole and turf it over.
Yea, it would cost to do that all that it would
cost to properly repair it. Why, then, throw
away valuable, safe and enduring structure
and waste money. Then the other towns in
the county have voice in the matter, as they
helped pay for it, and there is
evidence in the State archives to
show that the county towns are not
deprived of their voice as to the disposition
of the old building and have never relin-
pushed said right. They helped pay for 1t
and New Haven city will have lnJunc-
tons sued out to stop it from tearing it
down if that step is attempted. The State
House should be preserved, continued the
speaker, because first, it is worth preserving;
because from its isolated position it is not
Il exposed to CONGREGATIONS; because it IS re-
| mote from noise and dust; and because the
site has an estimated value of 5000, 600. All
honor, too, to Aldermen Barnes and Martin,
who stood up in the council like men and
opposed sending the case to the people, fol
the reason given that it was Sinking off up
on the people what the people had expected
their representatives to decide.
